Very sad. Her dad was the first Russian to play in division 1.

RIP. Puts a relegation into perspective.

Apparently she had a chronic liver problem since her late teens. What a testament to her courage and toughness to compete at the highest level. She once said some days she would wake and be barely able to move. RIP Elena
